Oppose the Mega Dairy proposal

You may have read in the press about a factory farm proposal which has been seeking planning permission in Lincolnshire. The factory would be built at Nocton and raises various issues. Public pressure has resulted in a smaller scale proposal than originally envisaged, but the new proposal would still be the largest cow factory farm in the UK, with up to 4000 cows kept in grass-free conditions. Farms like this are going to be bad for climate change, bad for cows and bad for other farmers.

If we want to stop US-style factory farms being introduced to the UK, we need to make sure this planning application is rejected. If this mega-dairy goes ahead, it will be 30 times bigger than anything the UK has ever seen. It could open the floodgates for more cow factory farms across the country.
